The Samsung Galaxy A73 shares some similarities with the rest of the series, such as the Galaxy A33 and A53, but it comes with a few extra features and is thus priced slightly higher.
Samsung has improved the Galaxy A73 by adding a 108MP (f/1.8) primary camera with optical image stabilization (OIS) (Optical Image Stabilization). Although a higher resolution sensor does not always imply better image quality, the 108MP camera is a significant improvement over last year’s 64MP camera.
However, nowadays, the software and level of AI used can make all the difference. Samsung hasn’t revealed much about the Galaxy A73’s camera app — or its features — so we’ll have to wait a little longer to see how capable it is. Regardless, Samsung’s 108MP sensor is the highest-resolution sensor it’s ever used on a mid-range phone, and it’s well worth mentioning.
